This was an absolute pleasure to judge, with some extremely inventive treatments and mind-boggling imagery.

3rd place to Boxwood with:
Copper, coming inside another pert but, shows a preference for Marge (9)
(I always thought that if your chin glowed yellow that meant you preferred butter)

2nd, and only just pipped at the post was Foggyweb's extract from the pantomime we'd all like to see:
Perhaps Goldilocks has fat cub's ursine penis for starters (9)
That one really made me chuckle.

But this week's winner, for the erotic* surface reading and inventive use of butter up, is Anax with:
Tip of cock smothered in soft soap by Mrs Cripps (9)
So good I'll even forgive the obscure music reference.

Over to you matey.




* I don't know exactly where the line between erotic and pornograhic lies.
